What are the key features of CD4518BNSRG4?

  • Dual BCD decade up-counter with independent gated clock and Schmitt-trigger inputs enabling noise-immune counting up to 1.5 MHz clock frequency
  • Wide supply voltage range from 3 V to 15 V compatible with both 5 V TTL-level and 12 V CMOS systems for versatile logic family interfacing
  • Load/preset input capability allowing synchronous parallel loading of counter values for flexible divide-by-N and timer initialization applications

What is CD4518BNSRG4 used for?

The CD4518BNSRG4 is used in frequency dividers, event counters, and timer circuits in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, and educational laboratory equipment requiring reliable decade counting at up to 1.5 MHz. Its dual-counter architecture enables cascaded multi-decade counting for display drivers, time-base generators, and BCD-to-seven-segment decode chains. The CMOS 4000-series logic family compatibility makes it a versatile drop-in for legacy and new designs operating from 3 V to 15 V supply rails.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum clock frequency and supply voltage range of the CD4518BNSRG4?

The CD4518BNSRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 1.5 MHz at nominal supply voltage with a 50 pF load capacitance. Its supply voltage range spans 3 V to 15 V, covering both low-voltage 3.3 V microcontroller systems and legacy 12 V CMOS logic environments, making it compatible with a wide range of existing board power rails.

How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input of the CD4518BNSRG4 improve counting reliability in noisy environments?

The Schmitt-trigger input on the CD4518BNSRG4 clock pin provides hysteresis of approximately 0.9 V at 5 V supply, rejecting noise spikes below the switching threshold and preventing false triggering from slow-rise-time or bouncing clock signals. This makes the CD4518BNSRG4 significantly more reliable than standard CMOS counters in industrial environments with 50 Hz to 60 Hz power line interference or mechanical switch bounce up to several milliseconds.

How can the dual-counter architecture of the CD4518BNSRG4 be used to build a 2-digit BCD display driver?

The CD4518BNSRG4 contains 2 independent BCD decade counters in a single 16-pin SOP package. By connecting the carry output of the first counter to the clock input of the second, engineers create a 2-decade counter chain counting from 00 to 99. Each counter's 4-bit BCD output drives a separate BCD-to-7-segment decoder, enabling a complete 2-digit numeric display with only 2 ICs and no additional logic for event counters or digital clocks.

When should an engineer choose CD4518BNSRG4 over a 74HC162 presettable decade counter for a 1.5 MHz application?

For applications that need 2 decade counters in a single package with a wide 3 V to 15 V supply range, the CD4518BNSRG4 is more cost-effective than two 74HC162 devices. However, if synchronous preset and higher clock frequencies above 1.5 MHz are required, the 74HC162 with its 95 MHz maximum frequency and synchronous clear capability is the better choice for high-speed BCD counting in a tightly timed digital pipeline.
